Subject: [V3 01/10] perf: New conditional branch filter criteria in branch stack sampling
POWER8 PMU based BHRB supports filtering for conditional branches.
This patch introduces new branch filter PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND which
will extend the existing perf ABI. Other architectures can provide
this functionality with either HW filtering support (if present) or
with SW filtering of instructions.
